Both MacPorts Python and PSF MacPython can be a PITA as some
installers are not fully universal builds. That is, the Python
framework has not been configured and compiled properly to include 64
bit. This means that if you try and use standard operating system
Apache on MacOS X (Leopard) on 64 bit capable CPU, then you will
either not get mod_python/mod_wsgi to compile or they will fail at run
time.
More details in:
http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/InstallationOnMacOSX
Thus, be prepared to compile Python from source code if you want to
use standard MacOS X installation of Apache on a 64 bit CPU.
